Applied mathematics is a broad field that has grown to include a wide variety of subjects - statistics, biomathematics, cryptography, scientific computation, mathematical modeling, economics, financial mathematics, operations research and engineering. It provides a foundation in the mathematical techniques used in these subjects and trains the student to use these skills in real world problems. For students who prefer academic research, this concentration will prepare them for graduate study in applied math, as well as many other different fields. Applied mathematicians and computational scientists work for federal and state governments, the military, financial services, scientific research and development services, and consulting services specializing in management, science, and technology. Software publishers, insurance companies, aerospace, pharmaceutical, and other manufacturing companies also employ applied mathematicians and computational scientists. Many also work in academia, teaching the next generation and developing innovations through their own research. Major Requirements: MATH 121 - Calculus with Analytic Geometry I MATH 122 - Calculus with Analytic Geometry II MATH 130 - Discrete Mathematics MATH 192 - Freshman Mathematics Seminar MATH 221 - Calculus III MATH 222 - Calculus IV MATH 292 - Sophomore Mathematics Seminar MATH 304 - Probability MATH 306 - Ordinary Differential Equations I MATH 322 - Linear Algebra MATH 392 - Junior Mathematics Seminar MATH 401 - Real Analysis I MATH 407 - Abstract Algebra I MATH 492 - Mathematics Seminar Applied Math Concentration Courses: MATH 212 - Approximation Methods I MATH 309 - Mathematical Modeling MATH 312 - Approximation Methods II MATH 412 - Projects in Scientific Computing Additional Required Courses: CPSC 121 - Introduction to Programming PHYS 121 - General Physics I PHYS 122 - General Physics II Collateral Application Courses 9-12 credits from one of the following fields: Engineering: ENGR 301 - Fluid Mechanics ENVE 311 - Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering I: Aquatic and Atmospheric Chemistry ENVE 312 - Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering II: Transport Processes ENVE 313 - Modeling and Simulation of Environmental Systems Computer Science: CPSC 122 - Intermediate Programming and above; Physics: PHYS 214 - Electronic Instrumentation and above; Chemistry: CHEM 121 - General Chemistry I CHEM 122 - General Chemistry II CHEM 221 - Organic Chemistry I and above; Biology: BIOL 111 - Introduction to Biology: Molecules, Cells, and Animal Physiology and above; Bioinformatics: CPSC 221 - Introduction to Data Structures BIOL 301 - Genetics BINF 250 - Bioinformatics/ Computer Science and above; Or others upon approval.
